So, when do we bail everyone out again? Maybe Berkowitz should write another Fairholme thank you note to the government to get that started. A few Dick Bove banking upgrades could turn everything around...

  • Hi Scott,

    We've both posted similar stories.
    I have listened to Bove; and I am not sure how he measures in his mind the conditions and/or circumstances that cause him to be so cheery about some banks. I am not a finanacial sheet analyist; but I can't find the "value" for some of these banks that others "find"; at least not today, with today's economy.

    Regards,
    Catch

  • Read a good book "The Big Short" by Lewis. Explains alot of the mess the banks created.
  • Reply to @Anonymous: Reading through it again - entertaining read.
  • That's why a lot of people lately have moved over to using Credit Unions.
